    Razr brick / dead battery / fully fixed with bread ties and tweezers.

    So the other day, I screwed up a rom installation by not charging the battery to full and by not doing bootstrap correctly. So when I formatted / wiped everything and used update.zip to install the rom in recovery, everything went to . The phone would hit the red M splash screen (when off ac...

    Partial Razr brick

    Alright, I rigged another battery into the razr and can work around the low battery issue. Unfortunately, the droidrazrutility 1.6 has various failures, though now I have recovery back (I lost it for a while). And the 1.7 utility closes as soon as I "hit any key". Not sure on that one. Now...

    I posted this half an hour (and what I thought was a different problem) before you responded. (look at the times). I was unaware of the significance of the charging issue as it related to my problem and believed it to be separate. Thus, one might respond to my post to fix the flashing issue...

    Partial Razr brick

    Thank you for the suggestions. Unfortunately, after giving the fastboot charging trick three attempts and about an hour total, it still does not come off of the red M splash screen. Any ideas on why it still won't charge?

    Alright, that seems to be exactly what happened. But now the phone won't charge. The initial red M splash screen turns on when plugged into the wall, but it doesn't seem to charge. I'd left it like that all night, but it's still too low to use fastboot. How do I charge it? When plugged in...

    Partial Razr brick

    No. I didn't do that safe side stuff. I missed that entirely. And what if I didn't use safestrap correctly? I've rooted and flashed many phones in the past, so I've got some experience with this. What's the fix for the ICS razr? ---------- Post Merged at 01:02 PM ---------- Previous Post...

    Partial Razr brick

    Safestrap was installed and I used it to reboot my phone, yes. Then it went into recovery mode and I followed the rest of the instructions found here. [Rom] Arctic Hd - DroidRzr.com

    Partial Razr brick

    Hello. So I rooted my new Razr (standard razr, not maxx) successfully after updating to current. After a few reboots, I tried to install Arctic. I did a full system wipe, caches, et c., then installed Arctic. Then the phone wouldn't restart after the installation had seemed to complete...

    Boosting functionality of Dinc 2

    Darn. Yeah, it's 2.3. Thanks for the info, though. Is there anything else to do that doesn't involve root? The phone is running a dozen useless apps.

    Boosting functionality of Dinc 2

    I just got a Dinc 2 and I am wondering if there's anything special I can do to boost the overall speed of the phone. As an example, it runs N64oid a lot better than my Dinc1, but still doesn't run it as well as I'd like. It also seems to bog down every once in a while. I have run a few...
